Very well done, all your mods and additions really bring it to life.

That is one great looking Galaxie! Stance is really on point.

Thanks guys!

Very kewl, and looks period correct. Man, that would be one fun rocket to drive!

Thanks a bunch guys!

Gotta love a Grabber Blue Torino, such a great color on them. Sharp build.

Haven't stopped in here in awhile, been a little AWOL with life's going's on. But in the meantime I did get another build wrapped up, the tried and true Revell kit. I added my usual plumbing under the hood, and drilled open the end of the air cleaner snorkle. During the photoshoot I noticed the radiator hose needed touch-up with some flat clear, so I did that tonight. Speaking of said piece, it wasn't the greatest fit, but just left it as-is. Same with the tail lights, not the best fit, and wish I would have tinkered with them a bit. Other changes I made were to swap in a set of rally wheels, and raised the stance a little as I feel like these kits tend to sit a bit low. I hosed the body down in Model Master Daytona Yellow lacquer. Overall a great little kit, a little surprised it's taken me this long to finally throw one of these '69 Camaros together. Thanks for looking and any comments/questions.

Thanks Jack, but believe me, she's got some warts hahaha. Thanks Steve. The stance is technically out of the box, however, I didn't seat the frontside of the chassis all the way up into the body. I did that as a result of the breathers sitting too high and not allowing the hood to sit flush (still not perfect but much better). I have heard some builders have rectified this issue by modding the crossmember to allow the engine to sit lower. Thanks Mike. Yes they are one piece, and take a lot of work and patience . Thanks for all the comments guys! My next build will have fewer/smaller decals!

Managed to drag another kit across the finish line on Sunday. Salvino's JR kit, not too bad to put together. Box stock other than ignition wires, scratch made rear window braces, and opened up exhaust dump ends. Tamiya TS-23 Light Blue hosed down everywhere. I did use Powerslide's decals for the vermillion. Those huge decals gave me problems even with lots of setting solution, heat, and time. I did the best I could with them and called it good. In the end I had to mix up a small batch of paint and do some touch-ups here and there. Not my best work by any means, but still love the looks of it and glad to add this iconic racecar to my collection. Thanks fer lookin' and any comments/questions.

Very well done! Always liked those Tide liveries.

Very nice pair Jim! The Phantom is amongst my favorite jets as well. I've got a couple 1/48 ones in the stash I'd like to build, but like you mentioned, space is a issue.

Thanks guys! For being such a simple kit it really presents itself well. I forgot to mention in the original post that I did deepen the panel lines, as well as scribing in a couple missing ones. Thanks Bob. It went better than I was expecting. While trimming the foil the knife took well to edge of the trim, allowing for some pretty straight lines.

That's a great build, Curtis! Calypso Coral is a awesome color, and you did a fantastic job getting such a smooth and shiny finish. Congtrats!

Finished this one up last evening. I had the need to slam a curbside together to help cleanse the palate of sorts, and this one did the trick. She's completely box stock other than the side mirror I dug out from the parts box, and filing down the wing window frames a bit. Hosed down in Tamiya Base White, while the interior was treated to Model Master Nassau Blue with Tamiya transparent blue accents. Looks good on the shelf. Thanks for looking and any comments/questions.

An absolute homerun, wonderful build Niko! Even though it was a long time in the works, it was totally worth it.
